20,000 sq ft of space for a computer that processed only 1200 cards/min. The tone of the narrator made that sound very impressive, which it was back in 1973. 50 years from now I wonder what things we are amazed by today will sound sill

As an AI startup founder, I worry pieces like this miss the point — we are so early into this new era of computing that it’s premature to call any winners. It’s also simplistic, because AI-related innovation is happening across companies of

Somewhat related to shadow programs for leadership roles -- at my previous company we had shadow program to give employees a peek into performance review discussions. It was always a black box and created uncertainty for many IC's, but

Amazing read, convincingly explains a lot of confusion around the aftermath of the search operation. And kind of mind blowing that IUSS exists primarily to detect submarine movements around the world. I would love to learn more about the te

For us the complexity has all been about the infra around the AI stack. For example, having a k8s cluster for running inference for open source models (Stable Diffusion, Bark, etc.). Beyond that it’s been custom abstractions around Open AI&

I wish the “how much an engineer can focus” section was first, because that’s been by far the biggest bottleneck in most organizations in my experience. All the other things the engineers can themselves address (e.g. better tooling, etc), b

A few tips that have worked for my teams in the past (used to be an engineering manager, and what you're describing isn't uncommon): 1. Shift perspective: try to believe that everyone is trying to help, and wants what's best

Why do you think Bing chat has been under-utilized? I also don’t find myself reaching to it as often even though the few times I’ve used it I have been impressed. I have noticed that Notion having a built-in AI assistant helps with writing

Interesting write up! Would love to learn more about the ‘why’. The post describes one (that etcd has low usage), but that alone doesn’t seem to be a compelling enough reason to do this.

It is fascinating how some ancient techniques had remarkable properties even though they didn’t have the tools or science to explain it back then. I recently learnt that ancient concrete has self healing properties because of the reaction o

What are the best ways of evaluating LLMs for specific use-cases?(blog.lastmileai.dev)

We did some research into the different ways of evaluating LLMs, but there is a lot of literature on many different approaches, e.g. scores like BLEURT, precision/recall if you have ground truth data, all the way to asking GPT to be a

We already support vector stores! If you go to https://lastmileai.dev/models , you can New > "Tune new model", which under the covers creates embeddings for your data (either file upload or scraped from a websit

We'd love to see how people use them to understand that better. Our initial hypothesis is that AI Workbooks fit that sweet spot where a chat interface isn't enough, and a Jupyter notebook is too heavyweight. So most likely this wi

While building this we were pleasantly surprised how intuitive the interface feels for prototyping. For example, you can insert chat cells in-between other chat cells, which affects the overall messages (and response from the model). You ca

Absolutely! We are working on that right now. Currently you can copy the output of one cell and manually use it as input for another cell, but we will be making that flow much simpler soon.

We agree! Curious what you've seen with Streamlit -- what kind of workflows are people finding most valuable? We are looking for feedback for future product direction.

We are working on that at the moment! We currently have a Python SDK that can be imported into a Jupyter notebook for more advanced scenarios ( https://github.com/lastmile-ai/lastmileai-python ). We are working on updati

Hey folks! I'm Sarmad from the LastMile AI team. We'd love your feedback on this as you try it out. Here's a video example of using AI Workbooks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19vRQQNZLFo Example Workbook f

Author here. We definitely agree these models are really powerful and can figure out a lot on their own. A protocol wouldn't be restrictive to their flexibility, but it'll allow different clients running different models to still
